Sinking

It grabs me by my little toe
and starts to pull me under
but every single move I make
is just another blunder
the ground is climbing
up my legs
no use in trying to run
It pulls
It sucks
I’m sinking in
each limb one by one
It’s closing in
around my ribs
I’m being crushed to bits
my heart just fell
below the line
will this ever quit?
Air flees
from the punctured balloon
in my chest
this current
keeps on
pulling me through
please give me a rest
I try to remember
every song
that I have ever sung
but now it’s up to my face
and it’s grabbing at my tongue
my nose and eyes flood
like the salt of the sea
I can’t open up
or I’ll no longer see
I’m falling, I’m sinking
in a mass of entropy
just caught up in thinking
of how I lost me.
